Another
interesting thing about the musical "
Jesus Christ superstar" is that it paints Judas in a sympathetic light. He starts off the musical by singing about how much he love and respects Jesus but accuses him and his followers of having "too much heaven on their minds". So, drunk on their own hubris, they ignore Judas when he tells them that their "captors" will hurt him. He was right. That is exactly what happened. Even if he wouldn't have told them where to find Jesus, they were already
looking for him. After Judas sees what they've done Jesus he proclaims that Jesus "has murdered him" and hangs himself. Again, Judas was correct.
Iam "You're awfully quiet today..."
Hym "Because, like Judas, I know exactly how this will end....."
Iam "It..... *Sigh* ...... I'm not worried about it..."
Hym "You should be.... It's
the only thing that matters...."
Iam "Hmm... This kind of makes me sad..."
Hym "Don't be. They my be ignorant but they at least know enough to know better.
I don't even know why you even bothered trying."
Iam "I thought it would work..."
Hym "The sooner you
understand that they only care about harvesting what they can from the two of us the easier this will be"
